Box Elder, SD
We've had a productive week here at our "home",
since we maintain our legal domicile here in South Dakota. Although we spent the first couple of nights
at the Rapid City Elks Lodge, we then moved over to the new campground our mail
service has installed. When they moved
their offices our of leased space in Rapid City, they constructed a larger mail
processing facility and added a 15-space full service campground. This is very convenient for us, since we have
both virtual (mailbox) and physical (campground) addresses handy, which makes
things like voter registration easier.
So, we were able to handle all the state business we had
queued up: I got my license renewed, Geri got a new one with the corrected
address, and we got her handicap parking permit renewed (Why does a
"permanent" permit expire every five years?). We shopped a bit, we used up a bunch of the
food in the refrigerator and freezer, Geri made a great meatloaf and a new
recipe for Bolognese sauce with Penne.
We're wrapping up our visit tomorrow, so today I washed
to coach and Rover. It took all day, not
because of the time required but because I needed to wait for the sun to shift
around from east to west. I puttered
with a few other small projects, Geri finished up the laundry, and we did our
meal planning and food shopping for the next few days in the down time, so it
was a productive day all the way around.
